Why do the python download commands run in quite mode? #2841
-
So I was looking through the python-build scripts and noticed that the curl and wget (theres one more but i have limited knowledge of it) run in quiet (less verbose) mode hence disabling the download progress bar. Is there any specific reason for that? The download is anyway being written to a file, so why not also show the progress bar? |

Okay, just found out about the "-v" flag. But for curl it still does not show the progress bar. |

We run
curl
(and other downloaders) without a progress bar because a progress bar only works when writing to a terminal (because it works by rapidly rewriting the screen). While we always pipecurl
's output to the build log file.
